Rather, I wanted people to experience &#8216;Like a Dragon&#8217; as if it&#8217;s their first encounter with it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to the official teaser trailer&#8217;s description, Like a Dragon: Yakuza &#8220;depicts the lives of fierce yet passionate gangsters and people living in a huge entertainment district, Kamuroch&#333;, a fictional district modeled after the violent Shinjuku ward&#8217;s Kabukich&#333;, that acts as the backdrop of the gameplay.&#8221; Furthermore, the series will take a few creative liberties including highlighting the modernized Japanese scenescapes &#8220;and the dramatic stories of these intense characters, such as the legendary Kazuma Kiryu, that games in the past have not been able to explore,&#8221; which Yokoyama continues to elaborate.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;To tell you the truth, their portrayal of the characters are totally different from the original story. But that&#8217;s what&#8217;s great about it.&#8221; The streaming service had already announced its series lead, Ryoma Takeuchi, as Kazuma Kiryu&nbsp;but officially confirmed the casting of Akira Nishikiyama to be portrayed by Kento Kaku at the panel&#8217;s discussion at San Diego Comic-Con.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The Kazuma Kiryu we created twenty years ago was perfect, and there&#8217;s nothing more to add to his character. When you see how they fight in this drama, it&#8217;s obvious they were not recreating the characters from the game.<\/p>\n<p>This project brought forth a new Kazuma Kiryu. At the same time, his rival Akira Nishikiyama was newly created by Kento Kaku. Their acting is a must-see for sure.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"rsp-embed-container\" contenteditable=\"false\">\n<div style=\"left: 0; width: 100%; height: 0; position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.5%;\"><iframe style=\"border: 0; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mZkC1sYxzZo?feature=oembed\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" srcdoc=\"&lt;style&gt;*{padding:0;margin:0;overflow:hidden}html,body{height:100%}img,span{position:absolute;width:100%;top:0;bottom:0;margin:auto}span{height:1.5em;text-align:center;font:48px\/1.5 sans-serif;color:white;text-shadow:0 0 0.5em black}&lt;\/style&gt;&lt;a href=https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/mZkC1sYxzZo?autoplay=1&gt;&lt;img src=https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/mZkC1sYxzZo\/hqdefault.jpg alt='YouTube video thumbnail'&gt;&lt;span&gt;&#9654;&lt;\/span&gt;&lt;\/a&gt;\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>During a post-panel discussion at San Diego Comic-Con last week, Amazon and SEGA unveiled the first official teaser trailer for their forthcoming series.
